Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Today I took my '67 C20 on its maiden voyage after getting its fresh big block that I built running better, and with its fresh exhaust, wheels and tires! Very gratifying...

Next up, 2"/4" lowering!

blew this apart today.....
i wish i could say i was racing somebody but i can't. not too sure why this happened. it has been running great, even took my little girl for a ride around the block last night. i backed it out of the garage and parked it under the carport so i could do the buff/polish thing. i was stopping for the day and was gonna pull it back in the garage. turned the key and it sounded like a cannon went off!!! i still have some ringing in my ears.....

Put my grille together with allNOS parts except the brackets and parking light housings. I may leave the inner grille black or I might paint the horizontal raised areas silver, not sure yet.

Took me a second to figure out what I was looking at.

Working on a 68 Camaro with a friend helping out another friend and couldn't figure out whether the timing was off or maybe just carb. problems.

...it was an inconsistent dist.

Carb. filled the whole dang exhaust system up with raw fuel...and then the distributor finally decided to do its thing and light 'er up! :devil:

I would check float levels and see if it's leaking gas after it's off. I just replaced my HEI distributor because the coil and play in the shaft was bad. It would stop sparking and fill the exhaust with raw fuel, spark again , then blow a big bang. I used to turn the key off while driving, load up the glass packs, pump the gas, then turn the key back on and blow flames. Yours sounds like it's leaking fuel into the exhaust after shut off.

Wow you are old!

I remember that being done back in high school.

Try that today and they'd think you was doin' a drive-by!

My Goodness...how times have changed eh? :waah:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I remember doing the same thing with my old 71 GMC ,load her up and KABOOM, blew the old Hush Thrushs apart

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Looks like someone ignited some fuel in the exhaust system!

Removed my bench saet and placed my buckets console in the truck. Next step get holes drilled for brackets and get original brace welded underneath the floor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

The bench and the buckets, console look awesome!! Highlander Green Plaid is the best color in my opinion. You have some great seat choices there.

Finished assembling my transmission

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I am installing a factory antenea which requires the removal of the cowl panel. I recommend you buy that rubber cowl gasket and all new hardware when doing this job and cleaning out the kick panel area and the rockers since you will have it this far apart. and also a good time to replace the glove box and its hardware as well

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got Power Booster and linkage painted and installed

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I finished the installation of an E Brake cover and lower steering column cover. Both were missing in my truck when I obtained it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Finally got my exhaust manifold off! Just not exactly the way I was hoping it would come off...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Poor manifold! But why, what did he do to you? You couldn't borrow someone's socket? 😆

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Transported my freshly painted bug home today from my buddies shop.
Hopefully I'll get to my truck next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Looks good. I need a bug to mess with.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Cleaned and clear coated Park Brake Assembly

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Started work on my new shifter install. Working on a template now for the metal work

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That came out looking sharp!!! :metal: Good work and thanks for posting the applicator information.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thanks....... After using a foam brush for a second coat on the pan, I'm back to using just brushes on the final coat. It's a bit thick for foam applicators larger than 1.5", IMP. I could reduce it, but I don't have "their" reducer and it's not worth the effort.

I'll finish the pan tonight. Think I'll hit the top (technically bottom...ha!) and top edges first, with somewhat a heavy coat. Then work my way down. I'll be sure and post the final results.

For the first hour or so it looks like crap man. Every imperfection revealed. I may have exaggerated brushes Vs shooting, but either way you can't go wrong here. Can't speak for the pan yet, but the cover looks sprayed. Shame I have to sand it:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I started piecing my turn signal cam & associated parts back together. When I got to putting the brass parts onto the new cam, I noticed one of the springs on the front side had grown legs & walked off. I took a quick look, but didn't find it. Damn field mice will run away with anything that isn't nailed down.

I hear ya. When old and can't see that well, magnetic tray for the small stuff is the only way to cruise. Make sure you can find the tray! Have a good one eh.
